You had me at “together we are all one”.
I believe in a collective spirit, a small part of which each of us is graced with to gently guide us. My inner spirit lifts when I am able to breakdown the illusion of separation. I am a sinner and a saint. We are all one.

Thanks for your kind words dear brother. My practice is to share the dharma the simple way I live it.

I just checked and the youtube link worked for me. Mysterious things happen on the web I can’t explain.http://www.youtube.com/user/rezdoglatte/videos . Perhaps sometime you might view the Bhikku Bodhi, Ven Pannavati and Joanna Macy clip. May you be well, david.

I like them a lot. In fact, I started thinking that I would like to go to the centre and see Thich Nhat Hanh, and be around the mediators.
It’s so inspiring hearing him speak.
When I went to the website [of the centre] I couldn’t figure out how to go there, prices and such. Can you fill me in?

I’m happy you like them, Genie. I’ve been greatly inspired by Thich Nhat Hanh, or Thay (respected teacher), and to plum village many times; i’m assuming you are referring to the center in France and not one of the 3 in the US. Right now is the winter retreat and scheduling is here:http://plumvillage.org/retreats/info/winter-retreat/ .

If you’d like to have more conversion I’m happy to help and prefer doing it in the contact me section. smiles

Thich Nhat Hanh is one of my favorites too and inspires much of my yoga and my writing, although I have not been fortunate enough to meet him in person. Thanks for sharing his wisdom and teachings through this lovely site.

I appreciate your kind comment. Thay is a wonderful teacher. It’s fortunate his talks are easily available on the web. And there are sangha support groups, nationally and internationally. May you be well and happy for the new year 🙂

Smilecalm! a pleasure to meet you online. I’ve enjoyed your Pebble Meditation video since Gary recommended the meditation itself and I found your wonderful resource. Thanks for taking the time to visit my blog and for sharing your art and experience.
